Introduction to port-Hamiltonian Systems (2025)
- This self-contained Online Course by Hannes Gernandt (Wuppertal) and Timo Reis (Ilmenau) is aimed at interested Master's and PhD students in engineering, mathematics or science who have a basic understanding of linear algebra and calculus.
- To access the material you have to fill in the Course Registration
- After the lecture period, interested students are invited to work on small projects and attend a final symposium where you can meet international experts
